Thanks Sean for the feedback. It's good to hear that code space and CPU speed are not the limitations. Sounds like lots of potential on the platform.
Looks like good appetite for native OGG decoding (especially the fwd/rew feature...). I as well am thinking of a quiet, lower-power server like the cheap CSLU2 "slug" or maybe convert my XBOX and would rather let the SB do its own processing if one day I have multiple streams going. What about native AAC, folks? Given the popularity of the iPod/iTunes, I would imagine AAC would be a wonderful selling point here... The audiophile in me is still hankering for 96/24 FLAC streams :-) Arch seanadams Wrote: > It's not a matter of code space or CPU speed, just that we are at a > point of vastly diminishing returns now for adding new codecs.
